MOSMATIC
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MOSMATIC from 3G Electric.
What materials are MOSMATIC rotating joints made from?
MOSMATIC rotating joints are commonly constructed from nickel-plated C38500 brass, which provides corrosion resistance and durability. Some models may also feature stainless steel components. The choice of material depends on the specific application and the media being transferred. For example, the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Straight (MPN 30.051) is made of nickel-plated C38500 brass and is designed for air service. When selecting a rotating joint, consider the compatibility of the material with the fluid or gas, as well as the operating temperature and pressure. 3G Electric lists material specifications for each MOSMATIC product to assist in selection.
What is the maximum speed for MOSMATIC rotary unions?
Maximum speed varies by model. For instance, the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Straight (MPN 30.051) has a maximum speed of 30 RPM, while the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Straight (MPN 56.163) with a carbide seal is rated for up to 2000 RPM. Other models, such as the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Elbow (MPN 40.032), also have a 30 RPM limit. It is important to match the rotary union's speed rating to the application's rotational speed to ensure reliable performance and service life. 3G Electric provides the maximum speed specification for each MOSMATIC rotating joint in its catalog.
What are the pressure and temperature ratings for MOSMATIC spray guns?
MOSMATIC spray guns and combination kits are rated for specific pressure and temperature limits. For example, the MOSMATIC Pressure Washer Wand (SKU 81.925, MPN 81.925) is rated for 4,000 psi and a maximum temperature of 250°F. It also has a flow rate of 12 gpm and a 3/8-inch female inlet. These ratings make it suitable for high-pressure cleaning tasks. When selecting a spray gun, ensure that the pressure and temperature ratings meet or exceed the requirements of your cleaning system. 3G Electric includes these specifications in the product listings to aid in proper selection.
What types of seals are used in MOSMATIC rotating joints?
MOSMATIC rotating joints may use different seal materials depending on the model and application. For example, the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Straight (MPN 56.163) features a carbide seal, which offers good wear resistance and is suitable for higher speeds. Other models may use standard seals compatible with the media being transferred. The seal material affects the joint's performance, temperature range, and compatibility with the fluid or gas. It is important to select a seal that is compatible with the operating conditions. 3G Electric provides seal material details for each MOSMATIC product where applicable.
Can MOSMATIC rotating joints be used for both air and water?
MOSMATIC rotating joints are available for different media. Some models are specifically designed for air service, such as the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Straight (MPN 30.051), which is made of nickel-plated C38500 brass and has a maximum speed of 30 RPM. Other models may be suitable for water or other fluids. The construction materials and seals determine media compatibility. When selecting a rotating joint, verify that it is rated for the intended medium. 3G Electric lists the type and application for each MOSMATIC rotating joint to help buyers choose the correct model for their system.
What sizes of rotating shafts are available for MOSMATIC rotary unions?
MOSMATIC rotary unions come with various rotating shaft sizes, including 1/4 in, 3/8 in, and 1/2 in. For example, the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Elbow (MPN 40.009) has a 1/4 in rotating shaft, while the MOSMATIC Rotary Union: Elbow (MPN 43.458) has a 1/2 in threaded rotating shaft. The shaft size must match the connection on the rotating equipment. Additionally, stationary ports are available in sizes such as 1/4 in and 3/8 in. 3G Electric provides detailed port and shaft dimensions for each MOSMATIC product to ensure proper fit and function.
